Description
Scalycaps are known for their distinctive cap surfaces, which appear scaly or woolly. They often grow on decaying wood, especially in damp environments. Some species produce a beautiful yellow or golden color, making them quite eye-catching. These fungi play a vital role in forest ecosystems by breaking down dead wood, contributing to nutrient cycling. They can often be found in clusters, enhancing their visibility in their natural habitats.
